Quantitative methods were developed for the study of the early stages in the interaction ofBdellovibrio bacteriovorusand host bacteria. Attachment measurements were based on the differential filtration of host and parasite. Invasion was measured by estimation of radioactively labeledBdellovibriocells remaining attached to the host cells after mechanical agitation. The kinetics of attachment and the final number ofBdellovibriocells attached were dependent on the multiplicity of the parasite, the composition andpH of the medium, and the incubation temperature. Inhibitors ofBdellovibriomotility, including chelating agents, NaN3, and lowpH, all inhibited attachment, as did anaerobiosis. Ultraviolet-killed host cells retained their competence for attachment ofBdellovibriocells, whereas heat-killed cells lost it. Invasion was selectively inhibited by inhibitors of protein synthesis, such as streptomycin, puromycin, and chloramphenicol. These antibiotics had no effect on attachment.
